Full Description
A step-by-step anatomical guide on managing central nervous system neoplasms
The third edition of the acclaimed Neurosurgical Operative Atlas: Neuro-Oncology is edited by renowned neurosurgeons Lisa A. Feldman, Mike Y. Chen, and Behnam Badie. It features updates and contributions from an impressive group of skilled neurosurgeons with extensive surgical expertise in neuro-oncology. Although many of the original chapter topics have been retained, new authors discuss techniques and data that have been introduced since the publication of the last edition.
The book maintains the original organization, with seven sections covering sellar and parasellar tumors, intraventricular tumors, spine and peripheral nerve tumors, malignant brain tumors, meningiomas, posterior fossa tumors, and skull-base approaches. Each chapter includes an introduction, discussion of underlying anatomy, patient selection, preoperative preparation, different operative approaches, and postsurgical management, including potential complications.
Key Highlights
A wealth of high-quality illustrations and MRI images provide anatomical insights and better understanding of technical aspects of surgical approaches
New chapters discuss endoscopic approaches to intraventricular tumors, intramedullary tumors of the spine, the lateral extracavitary approach, laser ablation of intracranial tumors, and awake craniotomy
Step-by-step guidance and clinical pearls throughout the book will help readers avoid complications and improve patient outcomes
This concise, yet thorough, book is an invaluable reference for neurosurgeons at all stages of their careers to manage common central nervous system tumors.
This print book includes a scratch off code to access a complimentary digital copy on MedOne.
